My conditions have been a large part of my life since I was 10 years old. Not only has my perspective on life been affected, but so has my trajectory. I have become empathetic and resilient as a result of managing my health for so long. I want to use everything I have learned to help others with their mental health while navigating the medical system and their own chronic health conditions.
I advocate as disability rights affect everyone. Anyone can become disabled at any point in time, as well as with age. Making our world more accessible is imperative to create a more just, equitable environment.
